I just produced this patch.
It solves the one thing that I missed most when switching from MacOSX
to Linux on my MacBook.

_AT_Christophe,
I'm sure this patch introduces style changes again, without intention.
Have you a set of 'indent' parameters I can use.

Nevertheless, I found this worth posting.

    add 3-finger back and forward control
    
    This patch will make surf 'go back' when
    3 fingers are swiped to the right, and
    'go forward' when 3 fingers are swiped to the left,
    as if you moved the web page physically.
    This behaviour is copied from the Safari web browser.
    Basic web surfing is then controlled by 1 hand only.
